: I think
: double-aught buck would be an effective round in terms of stopping, but if
: the barrel is as short as the WSTE-M, I'd assume go with smaller and
: therefore more pellets for a better spread.

IIRC, #4 buckshot is what is often used in combat shotguns. Some one should probably fact check me on that tho.

The #4 gives, as you pointed out, better spread.

: Shooting twin 12-gauge rounds out of one hand may be possible for a
: cyborg, but the commom soldier would have a pretty sore arm after a while
: if not a shattered elbow (don't lock your elbows, kids).

Having fired a sawed off 12-gauge before, I can attest to this. The kick isn't all THAT bad, but I would definitely not want to put any more than 20 or so shells through it.

Dang, pretty nice collection there man. As of right now, I have a Remington 870 police/tactical, an M1 Garand (post-Korea,) a Smith & Wesson J-frame chambered in .38, a Ruger 10/22 (for all them dang squirrels ;-)) and an SKS.

Oh, and also a .410 break-open, cut down to handgun size (please don't tell the ATF.)
